Match Preview:

It’s very possible that Manchester United could be 2nd when they play this game if Manchester City have beaten West Bromwich Albion the day before as expected. But United are in a superb moment and would go back into 1st place with an expected victory themselves over Sheffield United.

Manchester United have been in glorious form winning 4 of their last 5 games and the one they didn’t win ended in a draw at Liverpool, and if you are a Red Devils fan that felt like a victory in some ways. Whilst Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team were not able to beat Liverpool in the league they more than made up for it at the weekend as they dumped the Reds out of the FA Cup with a thrilling 3-2 victory at home.

Home form for Manchester United could be better but then again the statistics are still judging them on their poor home start. Recently they have looked pretty much untouchable and have won their last 3 games in a row here beating Aston Villa, Wolves and Leeds.

Sheffield United are bottom of the league and have just 1 win so far after 19 games. They already look set to go down even if we have only played 50% of the season because with 5 points they are 12 points from safety. 

The Blades lost their 16th game of the season 10 days ago losing 3-1 at home to Tottenham and on the road they are yet to win with 8 defeats and one draw. Chris Wilder’s side have only conceded 17 goals on the road and whilst it’s nothing to get excited about, one would think a team in their position would have shipped more. For example Manchester United have only conceded five goals less and it tells us that even though they lose many games it isn’t by many goals.

Team News: 

Manchester United: The Red Devils have no new injury concerns ahead of the game.

Sheffield United: John Egan is suspended for this game. Olivier McBurnie looks set to miss yet another game with his knock, Jack Robinson and Lys Mousset will face late assessments to see if they are ready after picking up knocks.

Man Utd vs Sheffield Utd Prediction:

Manchester United are around 1.25 to win this game and that should tell you everything. With the way they are playing, being at home and playing against the bottom side this looks simple to back them to win. It’s no doubt for many followers of football that they will win the game, the problem of course is the price.

To Sheffield United’s credit they aren’t shipping tons of goals as you would expect but they will be really up against it at Old Trafford and to bring some value into the price for the home side we will be backing them to win on the handicap.

Paul Pogba is in great form and the midfielder might be worth backing to score anytime. When he plays like this it is worth watching and investing in him and he seems hungry for success now at the club.
